Author's note

Cherub font by Lime is a free dingbat typeface that turns every keystroke into a playful, hand-drawn cherub illustration. The figures feel like they’ve been lifted straight from an old storybook-inky, slightly irregular lines, chubby limbs, tiny wings, and lively poses that almost wiggle on the page. There’s a gentle, nostalgic charm here, perfect when you want pictures to carry as much warmth as words.

Using Cherub, you can quickly drop illustrated accents into wedding stationery, Valentine’s cards, children’s book mockups, nursery prints, scrapbooking pages, or packaging for sweets and gifts. This free font shines when used sparingly as decorative motifs around clean serif or classic script text; try setting your type small and letting the cherub icons lead the eye at a larger scale.
